            Apparently at least one person is working, fairly successfully, on a server clone. I think it was this one, but I only know about it from one YouTube video I watched weeks ago.

              Sadly Pidgin dropped oscar (aim protocol) support years ago because undeveloped and insecure. So either install a plugin or use the old clients.

              On the up side, a complete understanding of the server protocol means new clients can be written.

                I didn’t know Pidgin had dropped it, but yeah - the video I saw as well as the git page linked both reference the original client. Is Trillian still around? What about Adium?

      I have my friends and family on Matrix.

      My instance is over 7 years old.

      Love it, can’t imagine being without it.

      I have a friend who is just so damn stubborn when it comes to mixing up their “comfortable” things if they aren’t the one to come up with the idea

      Very frustrating
